๐พ Supplier depots: raw materials from players
Your idea, @MrFoli ๐พ Factories no longer have to buy raw materials from the city. 13 supplier depots are for sale in ๐ฑ ๐ญ Industry โ ๐พ Depots: flour & grain (for bread), cotton, yarn & dye (garments and kente), oils, chemicals & packaging (sachet water and soap) and sand & cement (blocks). Depot owners import raw materials and set their price; factories buy from their owner's own depot first, then the cheapest one in the city, and the city only when no depot has stock. A depot is always cheaper than the city, so factories save and depot owners earn. Own a factory AND its depot and you make on both. ๐ฆ Loan to own like a warehouse (up to 2 depots each, on top of your warehouses).
